Orange: measured by NOAA's sensor, last 24 hours (6-minute data, preliminary). Dashed: predicted tide, through the next 24 hours. The prediction contains only the astronomical tide; wind, air pressure and river flow move the real water level away from it.
East Island, French Frigate Shoals is a subordinate station: NOAA computes its tides from Honolulu with fixed time and height corrections.
On Tuesday, October 27, high tide at East Island, French Frigate Shoals is at 3:57 AM (1.8 ft) and 3:31 PM (0.7 ft); low tide is at 11:10 AM (0.3 ft) and 9:14 PM (-0.1 ft) (SST, heights above MLLW). The table above lists the next 7 days.
The highest predicted tide in the next 12 months is 1.9 ft on July 3, 2027 at 3:14 PM. The largest tides fall a day or two after a full or new moon, especially when the Moon is closest to Earth.
Yes — on 187 days in the next 12 months the low tide drops below 0 ft (MLLW). The lowest is -0.3 ft on January 20, 2027 at 7:11 PM. Minus tides expose the most shoreline, which is why tide-poolers look for them.
Station local time (SST at the time this page was built), with daylight saving time applied where the area observes it — the same convention as NOAA's own tide tables.
From NOAA CO-OPS, the U.S. government tide station network (tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov); the predictions are public domain. East Island, French Frigate Shoals is a subordinate station: NOAA derives its times and heights from the reference station Honolulu with fixed corrections. The curve between highs and lows is our interpolation. This page is not for navigation.
